Liani sits alone in a chair in the lobby of a hotel in Bandung. Time had already shown at sixteen and thirty, meaning that he had been sitting there thirty minutes since the seminar he had attended ended at exactly sixteen.
Ahsan promised to pick her up, but Liani refused, but Ahsan insisted. This morning they left together, Ahsan first drove her before she went to her meeting place. His current position made him spend more time working outside the foundation area. Ahsan was appointed chairman of the foundation after several months of vacancy due to being abandoned by Akhtar.
With much consideration and knowledge of Akhtar, Ahsan finally received the mandate. Akhtar is the one who motivates him the most, he knows that his father is old enough to take care of everything himself, but he is reluctant if he has to get back to being directly involved as before. Past events are still in his heart, it still takes time for Akhtar to regain his peace of mind after many things have happened since he entered the family of the father.
During this time Akhtar was very worried about the situation of his father, he secretly monitored his condition through his two friends, Ahsan and Ghifar. Especially since the father who came to his marriage alone raised suspicion in Akhtar's heart, there must be something going on in his father's family. Previously Yasmin and Naura were so close to him. If it was just because there was other business they were not present at her wedding, she thought it was very suspicious. Akhtar believes his two younger siblings would prefer to attend his wedding if there were no serious problems between them.
Adhan Maghrib reverberated, Liani was still in her place waiting for Ahsan. Several times he tried to call Ahsan's number, but the result was nil. His jaw was active but Liani's call was never raised at all. The message sent for the third time was only two shades of ash. Indicates if the message has arrived but the owner of the device does not read it.
Liani thinks that maybe Ahsan still has an important meeting, so she does not have time to check her salary. Liani decided to pray maghrib first. If Ahsan does not come, he will go home alone to the foundation.
Less than an hour Liani had already reached the gate of the foundation. He decided to go home by using an online car that he ordered through an application on his car. Liani went down at the gate of the foundation, she chose to walk from the main gate towards her official house. All of you want to check if Ahsan has returned or if he really thinks that Ahsan is still outside.
Liani's sudden erratic feeling when she saw Ahsan's car parked in front of her service house, she was sure it was the car Ahsan was driving when he drove her this morning. If the car is already there, it means that Ahsan is already home. Liani slowed her pace, she deliberately wanted to monitor the movements in Ahsan's official house.
Degs....Liani stopped her steps, she covered the back of the palm tree that was across from Ahsan's official house. Liani could see clearly from the house came out a woman who was no stranger to her, she knew for sure if the woman who came out with Ahsan from the house was Suraya. Ahsan's ex-fiancee. Suraya looks beautiful and delivered directly by Ahsan, Ahsan even opened the door of Suraya's car. Ahsan waved his hand as Suraya honked her car horn and drove slowly out of the courtyard of Ahsan's official house.
There was something painful in Liani's chest. His legs suddenly limp, finding the fact that the man who promised to pick him up turned out to be alone with his former fiancee. Long Liani stood behind the palm tree, she tried to gather back her strength in order to step back towards her home. He did not feel his cheeks were wet because tears suddenly came out of his eyes and were difficult to stop.
"Mas Ahsan, what does this mean? all this time it turned out that you only stopped to take care of your broken wings, without intending to take me flying with you" muttered Liani softly, sobs held back from behind the palm tree.
Derrr.....Derrr.....Derrts
The vibration of the device in his blazer pocket stopped Liani's crying. He took his breath in and threw it away slowly, trying to neutralize back the state of his heart that felt gaping due to the invisible wound.
Liani looked at the screen, Mr. Ahsan Calling. Liani was confused to have to answer or ignore it. If he answers he is not ready because the condition of his heart is currently really not ready to talk to the man. Jealous but disinherited, a terrible pain.
Liani finally chose to ignore the call. He immediately came out from behind the palm tree that was right across from Ahsan's official house and continued his steps towards his official house.
"Huh.." Liani exhaled a rough breath. He entered his service home, after before looking back. Worried that Ahsan would come to him.
"Why should I be stressed thinking of people who don't even ask if you're okay, Liani? Be strong, still enjoy your day, even though adulthood is not as beautiful as a dream in childhood" Liani motivates herself, all this time she is a girl who is always cheerful, always cheerful, free from problems with creatures called men. Never been involved in a relationship more than just a friend with any man and this time also abstained for him to admit if he is currently jealous, disappointed and hurt because of a man.
Liani entered his official house, leaving all the lights in his house to go out. Ahsan will definitely come looking for Liani using the lighting from her dresser, heading straight for the bedroom. Isha prayer and sleep are her desire at this time, hoping that as she slumbers, along with it all the painful things she experienced today drowned in the darkness of the night.
"O Allah put me to sleep in peace and wake me up with happiness" he said softly, Liani also changed her salary digem aw
Get to sleep quietly without anyone bothering you.
While at Ahsan's official house, she entered her room after driving Suraya home. After the Ashar Ahsan prayer, I intend to go to the hotel where Liani attended today's educational seminar. Liani came as an envoy from Bina Insani High School to become a participant of the seminar. Ahsan had just returned from the mosque after the prayer.
Ahsan who was about to dodge was not so when his father called, asking very much that he was willing to accept the arrival of Suraya who wanted to apologize. Ahsan also allowed Suraya to enter the house of his service with a door that he deliberately opened wide.
Many things Suraya said related to their problems in the past. Suraya said that she would get married soon. Both of their parents have also made up and re-established friendship after forgiving each other. All finally revealed if all this time the problem that happened between the two of them was just misunderstood. Adzan Maghrib also reverberated, pausing the chatter of the two of them who looked more cool. Ahsan forgot that today he promised to pick Liani up at the hotel where he attended the seminar.
The alarm on Liani's device set at three in the morning rang, waking Liani from her dream. He also checked the device, found the time that showed exactly three o'clock. He blinked again, collecting his life before waking up and going to the bathroom after previously turning on his pitch-black dinas house lights.
Liani spilled all her unrest in prayer in the third of the night. He also asked for guidance from the owner of life and death to be given steadfastness in living every provision that is destiny for him.
"Shadaqallahul 'adzim" Liani ended his sentence.
Waiting for the dawn prayer time, Liani took her gawai She also deactivated airplane mode. A barrage of messages enters the incoming message space in its whattapps app. Liani checked it. There are a lot of missed calls
from Ahsan. Switch to Ahsan's chat room.
Ahsan, though,
'I'm sorry I forgot today I promised to pick us up. Where are you now?'
'Li, where are you?'
'Please pick up the phone, I'm worried'
'Li..., sorry I'
'Li...'
'Li...'
'*Li, I'm looking for you. Where are you?'
'Liani*?
Liani just smiled bitterly reading the message from Ahsan. I really want him to ignore that message. Anxiety still enveloped his heart. But Liani realized, he was not entitled to it enough.
'Liani replied to Ahsan's message.
She is then intrigued by a message from Shanum that sends her a photo of a pregnancy test kit showing line two. Liani was happy to hear that news.
'Alhamdulillah, today I otewe to Garut. Ponakan candidate, I'm coming' Liani replied to the message sent by Shanum. He was so happy for the happiness of his best friend.
